Understanding the New Turkey: An Egyptian Perspective

Arab-Turkish relations have always been -- at least since the Cold War -- haunted by the Arab elite's concerns. which with time became an obstacle to viewing Turkey's cultural and strategic dimensions or its national and sectarian components. The majority of the elite have branded Turkey with subordination to an International bloc, taking into consideration the Cold War experience and Turkey's entry into CENTO and then and then NATO. Reducing Turkiye's domestic and regional policies to a narrow framework and viewing it in an ideological perspective prevented them from understanding the changes in a country that strongly affects the region. There is no unified Egyptian perspective on Turkey as the Islamists' views differ from that of the nationalists and the leftists. Overall ideological considerations influence the objective evaluation of Turkey's domestic politics as well as its regional policy among the Egyptian elite.
